Jankowski was recalled from Triple-A El Paso on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Jankowski made his season debut for the Padres in mid-August after missing the first four months of the season with a fractured wrist, but he returned to the minors after only five days. The 27-year-old was hitless in five plate appearances and had a .259/.332/.346 slash line in 117 games with San Diego last season.

The Padres optioned Jankowski to Triple-A El Paso on Wednesday, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jankowski will head back to the minors with the Padres choosing to swap him out for another reliever (Eric Yardley) in advance of Wednesday's bullpen game against the Reds. The outfielder's first stint with the big club of the season lasted only a few days, but he should be back up with the Padres when the roster expands in September.

Jankowski was recalled from Triple-A El Paso on Friday, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jankowski was activated off the 60-day injured list and optioned to El Paso on July 22, but he's now primed to make his season debut for the Friars. The 27-year-old has looked solid thus far at Triple-A with a .299/.387/.343 slash line and six stolen bases in 33 games.

Jankowski (wrist) was activated from the 60-day injured list and optioned to Triple-A El Paso on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Jankowski has been sidelined all season after undergoing surgery to repair a fractured left wrist in March, but he's been cleared to return after completing a 15-game rehab minor-league rehab assignment (.254/.371/.271 with five stolen bases). The Padres have gotten solid production from their outfield this season, so Jankowski will have to toil away in the minors for the time being.

Jankowski (wrist) appeared in his fifth minor-league rehab game Monday with High-A Lake Elsinore, going 1-for-3 with two walks and a stolen base while serving as the affiliate's designated hitter.
EDGE Analysis
Jankowski, who has been sidelined since early in spring training with a fractured left wrist, looks on track to return from the 60-day injured list shortly after the All-Star break. Through his first five rehab outings, Jankowski has recorded four hits in 16 at-bats while drawing five walks against two strikeouts. The speedy 28-year-old will give the Padres a more defensive-minded option in the outfield once reinstated, though he may struggle to earn regular playing time with Hunter Renfroe, Franmil Reyes, Manuel Margot and Wil Myers all likely ahead of him in the pecking order.

Jankowski (wrist) is set to begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A El Paso on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
News on Jankowski's recovery has been hard to come by, but the Padres have finally announced that he's ready to start a minor-league assignment. He suffered a broken wrist at the beginning of March and required surgery shortly after. Given his lengthy absence, it's likely Jankowski will be brought back up to speed at a slow pace.

Jankowski's wrist fracture hasn't healed properly and he's not close to a return, Bill Center of Padres.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jankowski was on a three-month timetable after undergoing surgery in March, but manager Andy Green said Thursday the 27-year-old is "nowhere close" to a return, as the bone hasn't healed the way the club would have liked. It remains to be seen if this extends Jankowki's timetable beyond the three months that was expected, but it seems possible based on this update. He slashed just .259/.332/.346 in 117 games last season, but he provided solid value on the basepaths with 24 steals.

Jankowski (wrist) was placed on the 60-day injured-list Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
This is simply procedural, as Jankowksi is already slated to miss the first two months of the season after undergoing surgery to repair a fractured wrist earlier in the month. The move frees up a spot on the team's 40-man roster for Socrates Brito, who was claimed off waivers.

Jankowski was diagnosed Tuesday with a scaphoid fracture of his left wrist, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports. The injury will require surgery and keep him out of action for around three months.
EDGE Analysis
The three-month timetable puts Jankowski to make his 2019 debut at some point in June. The Padres have excellent depth in the outfield, so Jankowski's injury means less competition for Manuel Margot in center field while simultaneously helping the cases of Franchy Cordero, Franmil Reyes and Hunter Renfroe to see action at the corner spot opposite Wil Myers. Wrist injuries have been known to sap players' power for months after they return, but Jankowski provides far more value with his speed (24 steals in 2018) than his bat (eight career homers in four seasons).

Jankowski was diagnosed with a broken wrist after undergoing an MRI on Monday, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jankowski is expected to miss extended time after breaking his wrist on a diving attempt in the outfield during Sunday's exhibition, although an exact timetable for his return has yet to be set. This is a significant blow for the Padres, who will miss his left-handed bat and impressive speed.
